Any opinion on the Kustom Coupe 36 guitar amplifier?

Question

I've read reviews online, but I'd like to read some feedback from actual guitarists.

I would be using the amp for rhythm guitar in a rock band - gigging small clubs.

Answer 1

It's not bad, the clean sound is pretty good but I would use an outboard distortion source. I would also look into te Coupe '72 instead as it has a little more power so you won't have to push it as hard.

Answer 2

As a self-taught drummer myself, i can tell you that there really is no 'fast" way to learn an instrument. It takes a lot of patience, practice, discipline, and hard work. Now that being said, some people do learn quicker than others so it all depends on the person. I have two cousins that both play guitar and both are self-taught. My one cousin Terry practiced just about every day and picked it up quicker than my cousin Dave, who didn't practice nearly as much. Terry became pretty darn good in about 8 months. It all boils down to how determined you are, how much you practice, and how quickly you pick things up. My advice would be to get an instructional book or DVD and learn a few chords. If you do it on your own you will save a lot of money and you can go at your own pace. Guitar lessons are not cheap these days, unless you know someone. Just give it a shot on your own for a month or 2 and see how you progress. Then if you feel you need lessons to get better, then find a good teacher that won't be too expensive. But the key is to practice....practice.....practice! Good Luck!

It's a good, mid grade amp for rythym but its tone isn't very dynamic, so I'd suggest you use it with a preamp, best bet being a tube preamp as the Kustoms are transistor solid state amps. Tip: use a preamp with cab simulators for best results and a wider selection application.
